Portafilter bottom a little wider/thinner for 25g (!) VST basket
Vince Fedele of VSTlabs sent me a big new VST 25g capacity filter basket that almost fit my LONDINIUM portafilter and Tije de Jong made the rim along the bottom of the portafilter a little thinner and wider so now it fits perfectly.
Tije remarked that mostly such portafilters wobble a bit in the lathe as they are never perfectly round and centered but this one sat perfectly still in the lathe claws and he cut out a neat and even ring of brass.
Before/after:
Fits perfectly:
In Tije's workshop:
Two neat perfect rings of metal cut out (one brass, the other chrome):
Close up (i.e. with te camera held nearer to the object):
